Last week a 3,500-year-old mummy has been identified at the Cairo Egyptian Museum to be Hatshepsut (meaning foremost of noble ladies) the fifth pharaoh of the Eighteenth dynasty of ancient Egypt.

Using computer tomograph (CT) scanning and ongoing DNA testingm Dr. Hawass solved the mystery of what happened to one of ancient Egypt's most powerful and successful rulers. Dr. Hawass's odyssey of archeological and scientific adventure has been documented in Discovery Channel's Secrets of Egypt's Lost Queen. The special premieres worldwide this Sunday, July 15, 2007 at 9p.m. (ET/PT) on the Discovery Channel (check your local listings for more information).

The investigative journey of Dr. Hawass and his team leads them through the massive crypts beneath Egypt and into the depths of the Egyptian Museum. Using knowledge of royal Egyptian mummification and clues form two known tombs linked to Hatshepsut, the team narrows their search for Hatshepsut to just four mummies from thousands of unidentified corpses.

"Secrets of Egypt's Lost Queen" brings archeology alive for viewers. Only Discovery Channel can provide a context for and continually immerse viewers in these important moments of scientific discovery, "said Jane Root, president and general manager, Discovery Channel and the Science Channel. "We are proud to be part of this significant find, and commend Dr. Hawass and his team for their hard work and dedication."
